Expanding the content of CoD?

[NedLynch]

First of all let me say I was very much on the fence about buying the sim.
However given IL2 1946's history I decided 1C should by any means be supported and it seems the guys are truly passionate about the IL2 series.

I am rather happy I got the game, via steam, it runs very well for me (knock on wood, don't want to jinx it) and I am very much enjoying learning how to fly with CEM (very different from IL2 1946).

Now I do appologize if this has been posted before and maybe it's a bit early to bring this up, but I do think at some point the game content needs to be expanded, since right now for SP it is arguably rather meagre.

Like I said, I trust 1C will do this, either with expansions or add-ons, but it might stear the sim in the right direction if enough people express their desire for added content and what kind of content.

I would very much love a career mode IL2 1946 style, you choose your unit, your aircraft and your area of operations. In the end something like "European Air War" ( yes it is an old game ) paired with CoD would be a sim that will be ideal imho.

The option to map a key to lower your arrestor hook gives me great hope that much more is in store for this sim.

Btw, patience and reading and learning how to fly the aircraft is key to keeping frustration away in a sim like this.

Again I am very happy I got CoD, keep it up 1C

Yes, a dynamic campaign generator is sorely needed here. I'll be surprised if we get one anytime soon, though.

Single missions are still fun.

Try campaigns and missions posted here http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/forumdisplay.php?f=203

and at airwarfare.com

There is some great SP stuff already there.

I know I am in the minority , but SP is most important to me . I have two kids , a full time job , and another hobby . I simply have not fun in MP flying against people that can dedicate 20+++ hours a week to flying.

Any surveys I've ever looked at for various flight sims revealed you are not in the minority. Most of us fly single player most of the time, even in games with fully functioning non-buggy multiplayer.

I'm not saying multiplayer isn't important; it is, and I hope it gets fixed. But multiplayer has never been the majority.

The playable cojtent came in IL2'46 from the community.
"dynamic" Missiongenerators, singleplayer missiojs/campaigns, online servertools, dogfightserver events, COOP onlinewars and so on.

Give the community time - i belive it will come. But i dont expect much from the official side.....just the ecperience of the last 10 years

When one looks into the key mapping for the engines, there are up to eight engines mappable.
When i hear "eight engines" i see a B-52 bfore me
But a B-36 has 10 engines, mmmhh??

Someone started a poll here some time ago asking forum members where the focus should be sp or mp. It ended up apx 50/50 so you're not in a minority.

1C will release a SDK soon and when they do community made content will explode in volume.
